TCS DSC flashing

I have tried to RESET the TCS system by turning the wheels lock to lock and FAILED. How do I troubleshoot the system?

Is there a code scanner?

I have no codes on my generic OBD2 scanner.

Yes, the MAF is an important part to clean. However, wouldn't there be a code in the engine diagnostics for that? I was really looking for a link to the TCS system so that I could red the TCS diagnostic error code from the OBD2 link.

Is there a separate diagnostic for the TCS?

Another area to check are the wheel speed sensors. There is one in each wheel, inboard of the brake dust shield.

Thanks for the tip. Checking the sensors would be a great thing to do. But did you mean physically? Or electronically?

I am really looking for a way to access the DSC diagnostics electronically.
